CHAPTER 406: CHAPTER 103: PRESCRIPTION & REUNION (PART 2)
Since you don’t need my help, I’ll tell you about a few places. There are several locations in China suitable for replenishing your Spiritual Power. One is in the Southwest Yun Gui area, one in Fujian and Zhejiang, and another in the South Sea. There’s also one closest to Beijing, Changbai Mountain. If you really need to find a place nearby to replenish your Spiritual Power, go to Changbai Mountain." Zhou Ziang didn’t insist any further; in fact, he didn’t understand why those words had just slipped out of his mouth.
After confirming his identity as a Superpower Enhancer, Locke provided a list of locations that could strengthen superpowers. Likewise, he gave Zhou Ziang a list of the best places for Natural Cultivators to practice cultivation. The purpose of that list was to keep him away from those places as much as possible to avoid unnecessary conflicts with Natural Cultivators.
Zhou Ziang didn’t consider himself a warmhearted person, especially after learning Xiao Xian was still a middle school student at the gym that day, his heart could not help but waver.
Whoever said age isn’t an issue, it’d take at least seven or eight years before bringing Xiao Xian home to meet the parents, waiting until after she had gone to university. Seven or eight years from now, who knows if he would still be in this world.
"I’ll figure out a way to explore," Xiao Bai Jiao had actually mentioned similar ideas, but having previously lived in seclusion at Ge Village, he had limited knowledge of the outside world and could only provide a rough idea without being able to pinpoint exact locations.
During those miserable years of being a Jiao, the place with the most abundant Spiritual Energy, to Xiao Bai Jiao, was undoubtedly White Dragon Pond in the Southwest Mountain Area.
However, hearing Zhou Ziang mention several places, one of them being the Southwest, Xiao Xian couldn’t help but feel a stir in her heart.
"Did you go to Guiyang five years ago?" As she walked out of the infirmary, Xiao Xian turned back and asked Zhou Ziang.
"Guiyang?" Zhou Ziang stared at Xiao Xian, and in a flash of realization, he remembered the girl leaning against the door, looking at him. Her profile, and those shining, starry eyes he hadn’t seen change over the years.
A silent understanding was brewing, "Are you..."
"I am," Xiao Xian’s days of sickness seemed to dissipate like clouds carried off by the wind. She smiled like a bright star, "Thank you for saving me twice."
The door closed, and Zhou Ziang unconsciously sat down, his eyes shining with an affection he had never felt before, "Twice?" The only two times his heart had stirred in his life were both for the same person.
After leaving the infirmary, Xiao Xian didn’t head straight back to her dormitory. Instead, she sat by the school’s artificial lake for a while, gathering her thoughts.
Things weren’t as bad as they could be, at least she had found her lifesaver in these past few days, although his appearance each time made her feel short of breath. She would find an opportunity to repay him in the future, but for now, she had to solve the problems she faced on her own.
After the conversation with Zhou Ziang, whether it was psychological or not, Xiao Xian felt a little more relieved. With a thought, she entered the space.
The water level of the normally shimmering space lake had dropped significantly, and the silvery luster revealed murkiness.
The sugarcane seedling’s originally vibrant green body appeared dim and dull. Xiao Xian looked at all this and couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt.
She had been too reckless and irresponsible, overusing the Spiritual Rhinoceros Scissors without providing enough Spiritual Energy, affecting the sugarcane seedling.
Her eyes itched as if bitten by a mosquito. Xiao Xian wiped them with her hand, feeling a wet patch. If she died, the sugarcane seedling would die too.
Conversely, the same was probably true.
Their reflections overlapped on the surface of the lake, Xiao Xian and the sugarcane seedling together.
"Sugarcane seedling, you must secretly dislike me for being useless, always lazy, always feeding you cheap, low-quality metals, right? Don’t worry, I’ll save both our lives. If it’s Changbai Mountain, then it’s Changbai Mountain. If needed, I’ll exploit Xiao Bai Jiao further and go to Changbai Mountain to find abundant Spiritual Energy. Then, we can jump around again." Xiao Xian wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. In this world, the only thing she could truly rely on was actually the sugarcane seedling in her space, unable to understand human language or human nature.
It had always been helping her covertly in the past, and now it was time for her, the incompetent owner, to play her part.
In the lake, Xiao Bai Jiao swished its tail, conflicted in its heart. Where was Changbai Mountain? Poor it, a Jiao without a sense of direction.

Somewhere in Guangdong.
"You bastards, such a huge incident with Bohao’s death, when were you planning to tell me?" In a large traditional Chinese mansion, a middle-aged man sitting in a huanghuali armchair erupted in anger, smashing a bone china cup onto the floor into several fragments.
In the spacious living room, no one dared to speak.
With her arm in a cast, Xu Lan Ya stood beside her mother, demurely bowing her head, swiftly masking a cunning glint in her eyes.
"Dad, don’t be angry," Xu Lan Ya’s father, also the youngest son of Xu Changfu, tried to soothe him, "You were contemplating the last few days, and big brother and sister-in-law didn’t dare to disturb you. We’ve already notified the Beijing police, demanding they find the real culprit."
What truly infuriated Xu Changfu was the conclusion report just issued by the Beijing police declaring the cause of the incident as an accident: the car was speeding and then lost control, plunging into a ravine.
"That’s their conclusion? Lan Ya, tell your elders what happened that night. Who ambushed us? And how did you injure your arm?" Xu Changfu was a typical patriarchal head of the family, favoring sons over daughters. However, he considered his exceptionally talented granddaughter Xu Lan Ya to be very capable, especially after the incident with his eldest grandson Xu Bohao. He needed to select a new suitable successor from among his younger descendants, and Xu Lan Ya was one of the candidates.
"Grandfather, someone ambushed us. That night, we were wildly chased by another car, and my cousin sacrificed himself to save me, but he himself..." As Xu Lan Ya spoke, she broke down in tears.
"Who was in the other car?" Xu Changfu’s face darkened as he pressed his hands on the armchair, which creaked menacingly.
"I had someone investigate. The driver of the car was Zeng Xuerou, a student from Beijing Sacred Heart Middle School," Xu Lan Ya feigned sorrow as she lowered her face, but the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
